AHhiNoioN, N,Jdh' 'l.-DayllEht came upon
Washington yesterday morning with the
most miserable weather, cold, drizzlinp
rain, with an inch of ice and snow ON the
streets, making locomoton for pedestrians
as dangerous as unpleasant. But neither
the raw, cold rain nor the slcet kent tho
eager crowd from the Capitol. The guards
of honorstated that the viewers OF the re-
mains OF Senator Logan began to enter the
Capitol as early as six O'clock They came
in volume as late astwcvc o'clock Thurs
day night, after which hour there were
only stragglers. A large number viewed
the remains between two and three osclo,a,
in the morning
Late Thursday night very small, hunch
backed old lady hobbled into the rotunda.
When she reached the casket, the top of
which stood four feet above the floor the
guards observed that she could not SEQ the
face of the dead man, as her head was six
inches below She was offered and accepted
the assistance of Comrades r. s. Lacy and
j. c. s. Burke, who lifted her mp. As her
eyes met the face in the caslCt stream OF
tears burst forth. Major Burke saw the
old lady's sadness, and observed: Thou
art mighticr than he" meaning that she
though miserable cripple, had physical
life, whereas Senator Logan was dead At
this expression the poor little hunchback
was overcome and was carried away in q
condition which threatened hysteria.
The night vigil was reinforced by the full
guard Of honor and the whole number
about forty, were drawn up in platoons
The outer doors were then closed and the
outside public refused admission to the TO.
tunda, All of the other entrances were
then closed and only those harng tickets OF
admission were allowed to enter. The
casket was closed, also, and the flag drawn
up its entire length.
At 80 everything in the rotunda was in
readiness for the removal to the Senate
chamber, where the obsequcs were to take
place, There was very large concourse
OF people on the outside of the Capitol
standing in the cold rain, hoping to sec
something to satisfy curiosity or to do some
thing to show respect to the memory Of The
dead Insp ...
